Deluxe Soundwave Alt Mode

TFW2005 has a link to several ebay auctions for Ransack, Depthcharge and Deluxe Soundwave. As part of the Soundwave auctions are the first pictures of a potential alt mode for the deluxe class Soundwave that I have seen. Apparently the alt mode could be a Cybertronian jet rather then a satellite or possibly this character could be like Starscream from the first movie where Hasbro released a pre-earth fall mode and then the earth jet mode. Another theory is he could simple be a triple-changer. Without the retail packaging, we really can't consider anything as confirmed so all theories remain valid. Looks pretty good though.

"Well, at least they are keeping the eye-visor thing going on with this one anyway."

I agree. The more they stick to recognizable G1 Soundwave designs, the better.

He better be voiced by Frank Welker! (Or at least have someone who can pull that same voice off with the help of some sound editing)...But still...FRANK WELKER!!!! If the sequel has Frank Welker voicing Soundwave, the movie has practically made $200 million, guaranteed.

Though Soundwave can be transformed something which looks like jet, that's not his alternate mode. Satellite is his alternate mode. He can't be triple changer, because Bay has said that there are no triple cahngers in ROTF movie.

By the way, taht first one of those three photos. That's what Soundwave's alternate mode really looks. Look it! It looks mostly like satellite than other modes of Soundwave. Soundwave really transforms himself to Cybertronian satellite. If you don't believe, let's wait until Roberto Orci confirms more rumors.

Aw shit man, what if they bring Megatron back, and because he gets redesigned, Welker does his voice, that would be @#$&! sweet!

If they borught Megatron back, I'd like him to be Galvatron, and thus voiced by Leonard Nimoy. But Frank Welker could voice both of them!

I think that Michael Bay owes Nimoy a favour. Nimoy is Michael Bay's uncle (or something like that) and contributed a lot of money to the construcion of the Griffith Observatory (The Autobots discuss the Cube's location with the glasses) from the first film.
